[Antineutrophil cytoplasma antibodies (ANCA): clinical indications and experience with these new autoantibodies].
Antineutrophil cytoplasmatic autoantibodies (ANCA) have been tested in this laboratory for more than two years with a 3-fold increase in tests and positive results. The initial association with Wegener's granulomatosis has since been extended to microscopic polyarteritis and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. We review the published data. ANCA are not simply another laboratory test but have become an important tool for diagnosis, treatment monitoring and prevention of relapses in many vasculitis syndromes including some forms of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. The ANCA-associated antigens have been identified as a serin-proteinase and myeloperoxidase. This provides insights into the pathogenesis of the ANCA-related diseases.

Acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis with uveitis (TINU syndrome) in a patient with serologic evidence for Chlamydia infection.
A 38-year-old female patient with acute tubulo-interstitial nephritis and uveitis (TINU syndrome) is described. The cause of this rare disease is unknown; most patients affected are adolescent females. Serologic investigations in the patient reported point to a possible etiologic role of Chlamydia infection in this disease.
